Hello, I upgraded blackberry app world and the icon no longer appears on the screen. I have a blackberry 9780 white. I have searched all over the net and this is a big problem but I’m having no luck finding a solution. I have deleted and reinstalled app world 20 times i’ve done all the reboots and still no fix. The only thing I haven’t tried is downgraded my version of appworld. The reason being none of the dozen or so links i’ve found work anymore. Does anyone have a solution for this problem it’s so fustrating I could smash my phone off the wall ---
